I just don't get it. It worked yesterday and today it doesn't work. The only thing I changed was I installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
And Framework 3.5 SP1.
-I have XP 32bit, SP3. 8800GTX. 4GB Ram. Q6600 2.4GHz.
The above were required because my GTA4 game was experiencing severe studdering problems and there are MANY reports that say this method fixes it. And guess what? IT DOES. I was playing without the controller and the game ran PERFECTLY.
I already tried over 12 archived nvidia drivers and nothing fixed it. But my Xbox 360 controller no longer works. Here is the process of how things happen:
First I uninstalled the Xbox360 Software, restarted my PC, and then installed them again - and restarted once more. The Xbox software IS loaded into Msconfig to boot on startup and was checked to make sure it was currently running during this process.
1. Both the receiver and controller are unplugged and turned off.
2. I plug the receiver into the high powered USB port in the back of the PC. The receiver light does not turn on.
3. I turn on the Xbox controller by pressing the center button. All 4 lights contine to blink for a few seconds, the lights then spin around in circles for a few seconds then go back to blinking.
4. I turn press the receiving button on the receiver. The light turns on and off, The xbox360 controller lights are now showing the diagonal lights only flickering on and off. A few seconds later, all 4 lights on the controller begin to blink again and the light on the receiver turn off.
5. I then press the receiving button on the receiver and the small (upper) receiving button on top of the 360 controller, in hopes they sync with each other. The lights spin in circles on the 360 controller for about 1-2 seconds and then all 4 lights begin to blink, the instant those 4 lights begin to blink - the receiver light turns off. The light turning off on the receiver using this method is MUCH faster than the previous method. As soon as those 4 lights begin to blink, the lights turn off on the receiver. The controller lights continue to blink.
6. I try 2 new back (high powered) USB ports with nothing but the keyboard and mouse installed and the same thing happens.
